Yeo on recent scrutiny
Lou Korac: St. Louis Blues coach Mike Yeo on the recent scrutiny after their slow stars: “There’s always opportunity to point fingers, there’s always opportunities to make excuses to maybe hope for a different solution. But when you get really good, that’s when you start to dig deep and when you look in the mirror, that’s when you get really good because then nothing’s going to beat you. That’s what we’re trying to work on here.”
